Bill > H4222

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank specifically for Esther Odufuwa, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health. The bill allows other employees of the Department of Mental Health to voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a dedicated leave bank for Odufuwa. The donated sick leave can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the creation of the bank, as determined by the Department of Mental Health. If Odufuwa either leaves her employment or requests the dissolution of the sick leave bank, any remaining days will be transferred to the department's extended illness leave bank. The bill is presented as an emergency measure, suggesting there is an urgent need for this accommodation, and it overrides any existing general or special laws that might otherwise prevent such a sick leave bank from being established.
